VentureX is an Oakville-based social media content agency producing short-form content for restaurants, entertainment venues, clinics, retail and lifestyle brands across the GTA. Every client works with our in-house team of creative strategists, actors and editors, and we film on a regular shoot schedule each month. With new clients coming on this season, we're looking for a videographer-director who understands modern social content, can lead a set, and consistently captures clean, compelling visuals.

What You'll Do

  • Direct and film short-form content for Instagram and TikTok across our client accounts
  • Bring the strategy team's concepts to life on set, from shot list to final take
  • Work with our actors to capture natural, strong performances
  • Shoot on both phone and camera, choosing what each concept calls for
  • Lead shoots on your own as you learn our clients and process
  • Organize and upload footage for our editors after each session

Who You Are

  • Ambitious, willing to learn, and highly skilled behind the camera
  • Strong visual instincts: framing, pacing and storytelling
  • Confident directing people and giving clear, concise instructions
  • Reliable, organized and professional on set
  • Adaptable to different brand styles, locations and production needs

Qualifications

  • Experience filming social content, branded content or short-form media
  • Comfortable shooting on both phone and camera
  • Basic understanding of lighting, sound and on-set workflow
  • Your own gear, such as a professional camera, lighting and microphones, is an asset but not required
  • Background in videography, film, media or digital marketing is an asset
  • Weekend availability is an asset

Growth

As you work with us, you'll get more exposure to projects and different opportunities, not limited to strategy and editing. The role has real potential for growth for the right person.

Compensation

This is a contract position paid $30 CAD per hour. Every shoot includes one additional paid hour on top of shoot time, so a three-hour shoot is paid as four.

If you're confident in your eye, your direction and your ability to capture standout content, we want to hear from you.
